limited promotion. while supplies last. click for more info!

not sure why this is being kept a secret, but it is.

don't cry over the u720 being dropped from sprint! it was good, but not great.

my sprint rep tells me that the new 2nd gen ovation evdo usb modem called the u727 is 1/3rd the size of u720 and will be available from sprint around sept.

Shocked

Do you all know if the U727 still has an internal mini-PCI card as discussed in this thread? In searching, I could not find much information.

It will be interesting to have a tiny EVDO USB Modem shootout later this year when shipping.

Can't wait for that! The built-in 64mb flash drive and small size will make it a big winner! Hopefully Verizon will carry it.

Okay, the usual question, which evdo router will work the new U727?

We have a few threads setup on this topic - but unfortunately we don't have one in hand yet to test with the routers.

We are expecting our first shipment of U727 on Monday (10/1) and we will do our testing on routers, antennas, etc.

Stay tuned.

As I posted elsewhere, I held my U720 against the picture above and it is considerably smaller than the U727! Rolling Eyes

So what's all the hubub about size, anyway?

Wouldn't it be great if Verizon shipped the U727 with a microSD that had VZ Access Manager on it?

What kind of mac compatibility does this new modem have? Does it have a Mac OS X native connection manager like the Franklin?
